Purple Veins

Purple veins stick out against a canvas
He didn't stop working 'til his heart ran gray
Black and white hands covered up in bruises
Calloused to a point beyond repair

The songbirds all flew south for the Winter
They left your ears empty and your hearts beneath the floor
Stuck you up here with nothing but ravens
Crooning, calling, Nevermore

They said You're never ever never gonna think of something new
So you might as well quit while you're ahead
I said, I'll bite my tongue, because what you say is true,
But it makes me wish I'd never left my bed
Because I never can escape from my head
